MRI
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRI also known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technology that allows physicians to take a look into the body. The images are very detailed and show muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons very well. It has many advantages especially the fact that it uses magnets, not radiation, to produce images. Furthermore, large doses of radiation over a lifetime can increase the risk for certain types of cancer. Our Magnetic Resonance Imaging is safe and has not been linked to an increase risk of cancer. It is excellent at looking at the brain, breast, soft tissue and bone. At EmergencyMD we use the latest technology to produce high quality images. We pride ourselves on ease of scheduling, convenience and cost.
Why Are We The Best?
MRI – Brain
Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides detailed images of the brain and can detect conditions such as stroke, tumors, multiple sclerosis and many other neurologic conditions.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Traditional
There are two main types of MRI’s. Traditional MRI and Open Bore MRI. While Open Bore MRI can reduce claustrophobia, the images are often not as high quality as Traditional MRI and may limit the diagnosis of certain conditions. EmergencyMD offers Traditional MRI, but also offers sedation and relaxing music for those who are nervous or have claustrophobia.
MRI -Spine
One of the most common uses of this technology is to take images of the neck and back. Our scanner can show very detailed images of the spine and help our doctors diagnose the cause of your pain. Structures such as nerves, discs and bone are easily visible to doctors utilizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
